Chapter 703: Tied for the First Fragrance

Wang Ronggui did not go to the imperial farm this time.

He first received a basket from Xinbao, and later he also received some as rewards from Emperor Mingpei to court officials, so he received quite a lot, and there were also four large coconuts that Tuanzi specially sent to him.

While eating, he smiled and chatted with A Niang: "During this trip, the emperor's eldest grandson accidentally gained a reputation as a romantic and suave man..."

Wang Qingge sat aside and asked quietly, "Why do you say it's an accidental achievement?"

Wang Ronggui said, "Because His Highness is obviously not interested in this, he acts freely and does not intend to gain fame. I heard that it was because the two young princes built a snow house and invited Wei Da to live in it... Wei Da loved Cuju very much when he was young, do you still remember? This is probably mentioned by chance. I heard that the emperor's eldest grandson learned Cuju on the spot, but he plays it better than anyone else..."

Madam Wang smiled and said, "I heard from Madam Zhou that the child in the Duke of Wei's mansion was raised without any scheming..."

"That's true," Wang Ronggui said, "but he is the youngest son after all, and the Duke of Wei is rough and unrestrained, so it's not surprising. Maybe the queen likes this kind of personality, so she chose him to be her companion."

Wang Qingge listened to A Niang and her brother talking, and finally couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, are you good at playing Cuju?"

Wang Ronggui said casually: "Yes, His Highness..." and looked up at his sister.

Wang Qingge turned her eyes away suddenly, afraid that her brother would notice something, and her eyelashes trembled nervously.

Wang Ronggui continued: "It is said that he is very good at kicking. After all, he has some kung fu skills."

Having said this, he changed the subject again.

After finishing the meal and coming out from his mother's place, Wang Ronggui called Wang Wuniang, "Meimei."

Wang Qingge clenched her handkerchief nervously, turned around reluctantly, and did not dare to look up, "Brother."

Wang Ronggui waved his hand to ask the servants to move away, and said: "I had dinner with His Highness that day and talked for a long time. His Highness said that he would stay at the border for at least five years before considering whether to return to the capital. I also teased His Highness and asked him when he would consider his lifelong affairs. His Highness laughed and said that he had never thought about it and would think about it when he returned."

He paused for a moment and said, "Your Highness has no ambition to be a high-ranking official, but he has great aspirations... He will not easily change his aspirations for the sake of love."

Wang Qingge's flushed face slowly turned pale.

After a while, she turned away and whispered, "Brother, why are you telling me this?"

"Nothing," Wang Ronggui said, "I just wanted to chat with you. Shall I take you back?"

"No need," Wang Qingge knelt down and saluted, and said softly: "Brother, please be busy. I will go back by myself."

Wang Ronggui nodded and watched his sister quicken her pace.

He sighed silently.

At this moment, countless people are watching the marriages of several emperor's grandsons, especially Yan Shifan and Yan Shirong.

Maybe many people would want to take a gamble, but their family has never liked to rely on nepotism, so they would rather avoid it than get involved.

If everything could be settled within a year or two, then... there might be hope. Or maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be moved and find a way, then they wouldn't have to worry about anything. But now... even if he noticed something, he could only suppress it.

New Year’s Eve is here in the blink of an eye.

Because the eldest brother was "about to go on a long journey" and the second brother was "reunited after a long separation", the two of them were tied for the most popular ones. Xinbao stuck to them tightly and was reluctant to separate for a moment, so the two of them stood on each side, holding hands and walking to the front.

Then Yan Shifan stopped and said, "Okay, let's go back."

Tuanzi looked forward reluctantly.

At this moment, many court officials had arrived, and many eunuchs and palace maids were busy. Tuanzi took a look and suddenly felt a chill on his back. Tuanzi shivered and hugged his eldest brother's legs in fear.

Yan Shifan was startled: "What's wrong?"

Yan Shirong also squatted down and hugged his sister, "What's wrong with Xinbao?"

"No, I don't know." Tuanzi wanted to see but didn't dare to. He closed his eyes and hid his face in his brother's lap: "Xinbao just suddenly felt a little scared."

Several people's faces changed at the same time.

Xinbao can predict disasters that will happen to his family. If this matter is related to his family, Xinbao would have predicted it yesterday.

But Xinbao couldn’t predict herself. She felt scared, but couldn’t predict it… so it was very likely that the disaster was her own.

The two brothers looked over there at the same time, then turned back and quickly exchanged glances.

Then Yan Shifan picked up his sister and said, "Then I'll send Xinbao back first."

Yan Shirong nodded, and when he saw his younger brothers coming over, he waved, "Silang."

Yan Shisheng walked over quickly, whispered a few words in his ear, and then the brothers walked over slowly.

Yan Shifan held his sister in his arms and went straight back to find Emperor Mingpei.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Emperor Mingpei frowned when he heard what they said.

The person Xinbao saw at that glance could only be a court official or a palace maid.

As for the court officials and palace maids, if they wanted to see Xinbao, it would most likely be at a dinner party, so it would be fine if Xinbao followed Madam Lin.

But he was still worried.

After a long while, Emperor Mingpei said, "Let's ask Hua Shi to go over and take a look first. Fan'er can take Hua Shi over."

After a pause, he continued, "Fang Wuyou, go over and take a look too. Xuan'er, watch over Xinbao, don't leave even a step."

Several people agreed.

Yan Shifan went to the door and waited for Hao Huashi to come over, while Fang Wuyou trotted over to the front.

In addition to Fang Wuyou, there were several other eunuchs around Emperor Mingpei, including Gao Fu, Gao Ji, and Gao Qing. After Gao Fu was given to the crown prince, Gao Ji became the second in command under Fang Wuyou.

Gao Ji was the one supporting the front. As soon as Fang Wuyou passed by, Gao Ji came to meet him with a smile on his face: "Grandpa, what's wrong? Why are you sweating in the middle of winter?"

Fang Wuyou looked back and forth and said, "Is everything going well here?"

Gao Ji said: "Don't worry, it's not the first time, everything is going smoothly!"

He lowered his voice: "What's the matter? Why are you asking me all of a sudden?"

Fang Wuyou looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty has received a message that there are suspicious people here. You should keep your eyes open and look carefully at each one. I'm afraid there may be traitors sneaking in!!"

Gao Ji's eyes flashed, and then he showed a look of horror: "Rebel? This... this is impossible? The rebel dared to come to the palace? He must have borrowed courage from heaven, right?"

Fang Wuyou said: "Anyway, you better watch carefully! If something goes wrong, neither you nor I will be in trouble!!"

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, walked back and forth, and looked at these people one by one. Not finding anything wrong, he stepped back and said, "You must look carefully, watch carefully! Ten thousand worries are not too much! But nothing can happen!"

Gao Ji responded repeatedly, took a few steps forward, and looked back and forth.

Fang Wuyou looked at it for a long time with concern before leaving quickly.

Gao Ji looked at his back, his eyes flashing.
